Emulsification is the process which involve breakdown of large fat globules in to smaller globules which are soluble in water.

It takes place in the gut by the action of bile juice which are produced in the liver. It is important to emulsify fat as if it is not emulsified it will be very difficult for the enzyme lipases do cat on it in order to digest them.

It increases the efficiency of enzyme which are acting on it and braking down fat molecules in to fatty acid and glycerol which can be easily digested or can be absorbed by the small intestine.

The digestive enzyme called as lipase is a water soluble enzyme which act mainly on the surface of fat globules and help in fat digestion.
